Emergency Response Plan

​The RM of Torch River has created this Emergency Response Plan in order to provide guidance to respond effectively to a disaster or major emergency. This Document will not prevent nor reduce the possibility of a disaster or emergency occurring. It will aid in providing a prompt and co-ordinated multi-agency response, thereby reducing human suffering and loss or damage to property or the environment.

SaskAlert

The provincial government has launched SaskAlert, a mobile app and website, that notifies residents across Saskatchewan about emergency. An emergency alert will tell residents:

what the emergency is;

where it is happening;

provide instructions about how to stay safe; and

advise when the incident is over.

Alerts will be issued for emergency situations such as train derailments, tornadoes and plow winds, blizzards, wildfires, hazardous material spills, boil water advisories, road closures, and evacuations or local emergency declarations.

Residents can sign up to receive alerts for the entire provinces, an individual community, or multiple communities. This includes rural and urban municipalities and First Nations.
